DEFLECTOR.

Application filed April 1, 1921. Serial No. 457,777.

of li isconsin, have invented new and useital Improvements in Deflectors, oi? which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

(Mrinvention relates to deflectors adapted to be attached to 110 late all sides oi? antornc bile Wind shields.

The primary object oi our invention is to provide novel means of imple construction for mounting the deflecting menibers on the wind shield frame and so arr; y el. that-the deflecting members may be quickly and easily alled or removed irom the 'l'ran'ie or adjusted at any desired angle with respect to the wind shield.

The iilrei'ition. consists in the novel c011- structiiis s. arrangements and crevices for ing; out the above stated object and such ocher objects as Will appear from the follow- .screw 22 is thread d through d lfbil'wtll't on the member 16.

Preferably fiber Washers 29 are interposed between the shoulder 25 and the member 16 and also between morethe nut .27 and said member to prevent rela tive movement of the member 16 on the rod 11. r

The clamping device lt comprises the clampingmembers 30, 31 and 32, each having an aperture for the insertion oi a clamping bolt 33 and interlocking means 34 to hold said members in alignment. The memhers and 31 have jaws adaptedto grip the wind shield frame 13, andthe members 31 and 32 have aws adapted to grip the supporting rod 11, when the nut on the bolt 33 is tightened.

In the modified construction shown in Fig.

4; only two clamping members 35 and 36 are employed in connection with a clamping bolt of Windshields.

WVe claim 1. In' combination with a wind shield frame, a supporting rod, three clamping members interlockingly engaging eachother and having aligned apertures, the central and onset the outside members having j aws adapted to grip said frame, the central and the other of said outside members having adapted to grip said rod, a bolt inserted through said apertures, a deflecting member, a supporting member journaled on said rod and adapted to bear against one side of said deflecting member, and a second supporting memberadjustably carried by said first mentioned supporting member and adapted to bear against the other sideof said deflecting 'member, for the purpose specified.

2. In combination with a wind shield frame, a supporting rod, three clamping members interlockingly engaging each other and having aligned apertures, the central andone oi the outside members having jaws adapted to grip, said frame, the central. and

the other of said outside members having jaws adapted to grip said rod, a bolt inserted through said apertures, a deflecting member, and a pair of supporting devices, each of said devices comprising a supportin member journaled on said rod and adapted to bear against one side of saiddeflecting member,

a second supporting member pivotally carried by said first mentioned supporting member and adapted to bear against the other side of said deflectingmember, and means to maintain said supporting members in operative engagement with said deflecting member, for the purpose specified. 7

In testimony whereof, we our signatures.
